A STEELFORT PRODUCT

OPERATION

1. FUEL & OIL MIXTURE

Never use oil for 4-cycle engine use or water-cooled 

2-cycle engine. It can cause spark plug fouling

exhaust port blocking or piston ring sticking.

Mixed fuels, which have been left unused for a period 

of one month or more may clog the carburetor

or result in the engine failing to operate properly. Put 

remaining fuel into an airtight container and

keep it in the dark and cool room

.

DANGER

Fuel is explosive. Turn off and cool the motor down 

before filling the tank with fuel. You must observe all 

safety instructions relating to handing fuel.

Fuel used for this model is a mixture of unleaded 

gasoline and approved engine lubricant. When mixing 

petrol with two-cycle engine oil, use only petrol that 

DOES NOT contain ETHANOL or METHANOL (types of 

alcohols). 

Use 91 unleaded petrol to fuel the unit. This will help 

avoid possible damage to the engine fuel lines and 

other engine parts.

FUEL

The engine uses two-stroke fuel. If you have    

emission requirements, the mixture ratio of the fuel 

to oil should be 25:1

Be careful, a wrong mixture of the fuel will cause 

machine failure.

PETROL

Use 91 and above Unleaded Fuel.

STORING FUEL

The tank to store the fuel should be clean, anti-static, 

high-temperature-resistant, fire prevention and safe.

IMPORTANT

Two-stroke fuel may separate. Shake fuel container 

thoroughly before every use.  Do not mix more fuel 

than you expect to use within a month. Take care of 

the emission of exhaust gases. Always shut off en-

gine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with 

a running or hot engine. Never smoke whilst refueling 

and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes. Carefully open 

the tank top as pressure could have formed inside.

BEFORE REFUELING

• 

Shake the fuel mixture container well.

• 

Place the machine on a flat stable surface, with 

the fuel tank cap facing upwards.

• 

Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding 

area to avoid any dirt from entering the tank 

during refilling.

• 

Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the 

pressure inside to decrease gradually.

• 

Unscrew the tank cap and remove it.

• 

Pour in the fuel carefully, avoid spilling.

• 

Screw the tank cap on firmly by hand.

DRAINING FUEL

• 

Hold a collection container beneath the fuel 

drain bolt.

• 

Unscrew the fuel cap and remove it.

• 

Allow the fuel to run out completely.

• 

Press the priming bulb and let fuel run out.

• 

Screw the fuel cap on firmly by hand.

• 

WARNING

Always close the fuel tank cap firmly.
